Abstract

Partial cystectomy is an uncommonly performed procedure with oncologic and functional indications that determine surgical approach. Because of the risk of tumor spillage with urothelial cancers, it is rarely indicated in the management of this malignancy, but the approach can be utilized for less common bladder tumors or the excision of bladder diverticula for functional reasons. The robotic approach is particularly suited to partial cystectomy due to the enhanced surgical view compared to open surgery and significantly improved dexterity over traditional laparoscopic surgery.
